New YoRK, June G,-The publication in
Saturday mornings Sun of the fac siinile of
letter eminating from the office of the gen.
eral secretary of the Knights of Labor, in
customers of that firm, was brought to the
notice of District Attorney MARITIME, who
turned it over to his assistant, Mr.. Davis.
Mr.. Davis thinks that it was very guardedly
written, and of itself could not be made the
basis of Indictment. tt will receive atten-
tion, however, and If it is shown that the eff.
feet of the letter and the acts of the people
carrying out It's instructions constitute case
of conspiracy, steps will be taken toward

Afraid of Nebraska Rattlesnakes.

WASHINGTON CRY, June 6 Col Richard
Wintersmith, of Kentucky, who was recently
appointed special timber agent by Secretary
Lamar, has surprised his friends by declining
the position. The place does not pay over
81 800 year, but in the eyes of many appli-
cants for office that is better than nothing.
Col Wintersmith, when reporting for duty,
was disappointed as Land Commissioner
Sparks assigned him to go to southwestern
Nebraska. The colonel promptly refused to
go, and expressed his opinion of Mr. Sparks
i'm rather forcible language. "There isn't a
stick of timber in Nebraska he said "rhe
country is full of rattlesnahes, and it would
be as much as my life is worth to go out
there" Col. Dick has tendered his rssigna-

Blaine's Visit tn England.

LONDON, June 6. Mr.. Blaine's coming visit
to London excites no little interest. English
men so far anticipate the future as to ask if

during his presidency. Mr.. Blaine's declara
ton that he has no idea of meddling with
home rule while here is telegraphed to Lon
don. His judgment on that point is pro-
nouneed perfectly sound. Well informed
Englishmen know all about Mr.. Blaine They
have not forgotten his policy, which they
thought hostile to England, nor his frequent
expressions of sympathy with Irish home
rule. The great masses of the people in this
country regard the latter just as we did Eng
lish sympathy with secession. But Mr..
BIaine's reception here will not be
lass cordial on that account.

Good Prospects for an Early Settlement of
the Trouble.
WASHINGTON CITY, June Cit is stated on
undoubted authority that the prospects for
an early settlement of the fisheries trouble are
very bright All the points at issue have now
been settled satisfactorily with one exception,
and this, it is hoped. will also be settled in
comparatively short time The point upon
which Secretary Bayard is now resting is
that American fishing. vessels shall be per-
mitted to touch at Canadian ports with the
privileges of shipping crews and purchasing
bait, and indeed any other purpose but not to
fish within the three-mile limit Lord Sails
bury so far has only conceded the right to put
in for wood, water, supplies and repairs
Probably there will be some compromise on
these points. In the meantime it is under
stood that during this season American fish
ing vessels have met with comparatively
friendly treatment.

retirement from the state senate he was
chosen to represent in congress, as Repub-

ing one term he again retired to private life
and occupied himself with the many private

appropriations and southern affairs.
In the Cincinnati convention of 1876 Mr..
Wheeler received the ballots of the Massa-
chusetts delegation for the nomination of the
presidency. After the nomination of Hayes
he was put in nomination for the vice presi

selection, but he was nominated by acclama-

Hawley, and Stewart L. Woodford. When
Mr.. Wheelers term as vice president of the
United States was drawing to its close he was
offered his old seat in the lower

time of the election of Thomas c. Platt, but
Mr. Conkling's influence was thrown against
him and he was defeated.

mission sent out from London and committee ap-

council of foreign bondholders earnestly request
the holders of Virginia bonds in America to CO.
operate with them and to forward to ourselves
